Chapter 76 · Kushtha: past deeds
कुष्ठ — कर्मविपाकः
यः कुर्यात्कुष्ठरोगार्तः शरीरसुखकारकम् ।पलैस्त्रिभिः प्रकुर्वीत द्वाभ्यामेकेन वा पुनः ॥
One troubled by kushtha (skin disease) should have it made, as a comfort to the body. It may weigh three palas (weight unit of about 48 grams), or two, or one.
Classical view, not medical advice.
राजतं वृषभं शुभ्रं हेमशृंगविभूषितम्
It is a white silver bull with golden horns. He should make it with Maheshvara and Uma seated on it.
सौवर्णे प्रतिमे द्वे तु पूर्वोक्तेन क्रमेण तु ।
There are two gold images, made in the way told before, as his means allow. He should not be miserly with his wealth.
पलाष्टके कांस्यपात्रे स्थापयेत्तं विचक्षणः ।
The wise one should set it in a bronze vessel of eight palas. It is adorned with white flowers, akshata (unbroken rice grains) and white cloth.
